I have to state that there are still multi button gaming mice available, where you can assign different functions to them, including scroll wheels, in both Open Source Operating Systems and Closed Source.
In your case you would disable the scroll wheel. However I have the feeling that's not what you're looking for.

You don't want a scroll wheel at all.

That means that it is an ergonomic preference

Are my assumptions true?

@rl_dane the combination of True three button mouse without scroll wheel is special

I always need the scroll wheel even if there's an actual seperate third button just like the Logitech gaming mouse that I've had 30 years ago. That mouse had five buttons

So, we had to find a novel approach. It's the story I'm telling in this blog post. I hope you'll enjoy it.

@mjd “Was the alphabetic index invented before the scroll was superseded by the codex?” — Not really. Plinius' “Natural History“ has an index and he tells in his preface about another work with an index, but that seem to be the only cases. The problem is that with a scroll, you cannot actually use the index, because “leafing” through the pages (or better, “scrolling”?) would be too much effort.
It is also said that the introduction of Christianity was the reason why in later times, codices were much more popular than scrolls. The problem was the Bible: To work as a theologian, you have jump backward and forward between gospel and prophet books, between different gospels, and so on — much too much work if you have scrolls. The Bible was the first hypertext!
